David Göttler

David has explored frozen summits everywhere from Pakistan to Patagonia but his greatest passion is for the harsh and beautiful high-altitude terrain of 8000m mountains. He has already conquered five of the 14 different 8000m peaks on Earth, reaching the summits of Gasherbrum II (8035m), Broad Peak (8051m), Dhaulagiri (8167m), Lhotse (8516m) and Makalu (8481m), as well as ascending to 8200m on K2 (8611m). This hostile landscape of ice and snow, where the thin air slows the body and the mind, continues to fascinate him and he enjoys knowing that every decision and movement has major consequences. It is this feeling of being exposed and vulnerable on a mountain which makes him feel most alive.

David a exploré des sommets gelés partout, du Pakistan à la Patagonie, mais sa plus grande passion est le terrain accidenté et magnifique à haute altitude des montagnes de 8000 m. Il a déjà conquis cinq des 14 sommets différents de 8000m sur Terre, atteignant les sommets de Gasherbrum II (8035m), Broad Peak (8051m), Dhaulagiri (8167m), Lhotse (8516m) et Makalu (8481m), ainsi que l'ascension de 8200m sur K2 (8611m). Ce paysage hostile de glace et de neige, où l'air raréfié ralentit le corps et l'esprit, continue de le fasciner et il apprécie de savoir que chaque décision et mouvement a des conséquences majeures. C'est ce sentiment d'être exposé et vulnérable sur une montagne qui le fait se sentir le plus vivant.
